This post partners with my previous post about my grandfather's skill as a mechanic. When he died, a headstone was purchased with a old car etched on the stone in tribute to his many years as a mechanic. The words on the right read, "Going Home."
I love the monuments that express something about the individual. I may have never known them personally, but it gives me a special insight into their lives and personalities.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Teresa, but I think you transposed Dime's birth year in your verbiage. It should be 1910, instead of 1901, or at least that's that the stone says. I always liked Dime a lot, and I thought he had the coolest name ever.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct Patrick, thank you for pointing out that I transposed the numbers. I always loved my Grandfather's name as well; my brother Todd's middle name is Diamond, too. I could kick myself now for not continuing the name with my own two sons.
